I played at Skerry of Einar very briefly, actually, during my brief forray into GE (most of which was spent in a group called Eliv, on a Sim called Deadwind Pass - great fun. Not Gor, but great fun) between playing in Gorean sims before (split hadn't yet happened) and BTB sims after.

Did you think Oor Breen was my first account?

Before that I was role playing (well not really - more "doing Gor", in the places I frequented) in chat rooms.

Might actually be more like 19 years by now. I'm old, and back then I was illegally young.

But that sort of doesn't answer my question: how long should those of us who are elitist assholes and think our way is the only right way have to wait, until we, like you, can be truly enlightened about the right way?

U funny.

I call my vagina "New Yorker cartoon" because it's dry and a handful of people have laughed at it.

True, I'm relatively new to SL Gor RP and have no idea who are the Gor SLebrities.

But I have roleplayed since before SL, before the internet, before home computers... It's my hobby and I do care about it, and it would be a sad thing to cease caring. Then I might have to actually act my age.

Most of them will probably mellow out, not just on this issue, but on roleplay in general. They'll stop being 'jaded' by things that aren't really that important and learn to have a sense of humour about it all. So ultimately this thread is probably apropos of nothing.

I don't think I've seen a post more elitist and pompous than this one in the thread. So much for the argument being against elitism?

And it''s possible to have a sense of humor about role play while also having respect for your fellow role players, by adhering to RP etiquette and respecting the genre you are role playing in. Neither me or Oor are 'elitists' or zealots about any of these things.

You're guilty of your own "Do things my way or I'll get butt hurt and petty about it"-accusation.
